✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ WE REMEMBER Polish Cavalry Officer WITOLD PILECKI ✨

13 May 1901 – 25th May 2025

Honouring Witold Pilecki Through Music and Memory
Witold Pilecki was more than a soldier—he was a witness to history, a man who willingly entered the depths of Auschwitz to expose its horrors to the world. His bravery, sacrifice, and relentless pursuit of truth resonate deeply with my own family’s story.
My Polish grandfather’s escape from Auschwitz shaped my understanding of survival, resilience, and the duty to remember.
This duty is woven into my album Paszport, where Kazik Piechowski’s daring escape served as inspiration for many songs, including Kommander’s Car. Piechowski, like Pilecki, resisted tyranny with unbreakable courage, ensuring that history would not forget the defiance of those who fought back. Pilecki’s Report, smuggled from the depths of Auschwitz, was one of the first documents to reveal the full scale of Nazi atrocities—his words were a weapon against silence.
Following the Yalta Conference and the end of World War II, Poland fell under the control of a Soviet-backed administration, which sought to erase the legacy of its true war heroes. The Cold War ensured that figures like Pilecki, who had fought so bravely for Poland’s independence, were seen as threats to the imposed regime. Many—including Pilecki—were tortured, executed, and silenced.
Through my music, I strive to carry forward his legacy, giving voice to stories of resistance, survival, and remembrance. Pilecki, Piechowski, and countless unsung heroes remind us that history is not just to be remembered—it must be felt, understood, and honoured.    #LestWeForget
